I redesigned the flag of a city I live nearby. I'll try to get it officialy changed but first I want to know you're thinking about it /vex/.

Pics related, the first one is the current flag.

The second one is what I made.

The third one are the Arènes de Nîmes, the symbol of the city.

Also rate my shit general thread

I like it, it's iconic, simple, and representative. I think it would also be easily recognisable; the only similar flag I can think of is that of Community of Madrid, with a similar composition with seven white stars on a red field.

Otherwise, your idea reminds me of the municipal coat of arms of Borovnica, featuring an iconic railway bridge as a charge. I guess it could double as a coat-of-arms design in a similar fashion. (with the arches forming the fess; though some might find that untraditional and unheraldic, but innovative division lines are pretty common in Finnish heraldry)

Pretty nice work! I lately saw a nice silhouette of Wawel Castle/Cathedral (both or one of them?), I'd like to have this as an alt CoA of Cracow too lel, or Palace of Culture and Science as CoA of Warsaw.

Or Wooden Church (most known object) from my village of origin, unfortunately too small to have heraldry on it's own.

Reminds me of Flag of Cambodia, Kampuchea or Castille, I even saw Polpotist Spanish Flag once, with their most known Cathedral instead on alternatehistory, wish I'd found that again.

Thank you.

Another flag in this spirit: Split, Croatia.

I guess you could do something similar with the coat of arms of Ljubljana as well.

SO, in an oder thread in /flag/ somebody said that the NSM flag was shit-tier, and for the laugh i decided to redesign it. What do you think?

the first one is the original and the others are my designs.


 No.336

>>333

Well, it's definitely an improvement. I've seen some other very similar what-if fascist US designs as well. Personally I like the one with the eagle more.

Also, /flags/ has been moved here entirely.

pretty gud

>Personally I like the one with the eagle more.

Yeah, me too. The stars in thhe other are the ame as the stars on the actual flag, the 50 states, but i did a bad job on the design of that part, to be honest.

I decided to make a Mars flag.

>White, Dark Red and Heraldic Blue

>The white represents the human race, being the brightest colour aims to be the contrat point and the main part of the flag

>Red represents the planet itself and the rocky nd barren nature of it

>Blue is the water that will insuflate life to the planet with the terraformation

>The blue stripes flow from the white triangle to represent the human action on the planet to get liquid water and life to spring, while the main blue stripe divides the red, Mars, in two representing the new nature and from of the planet.

The idea is good, OP, but you should look for the symbolism in the actual flag, maybe it is important as a definitory point in the city history, you shouldnt trash that so quickly.


 No.348

>>347

It doesn't look like there's more to it than just the colours from the coat of arms doubling as a flag.

One could keep the old coat of arms and adopt a new flag anyway, so no symbolism is trashed.


 No.349

>>348

Agreed, but the flag of OP has some symbolism on itself, since the roman theatre calls for the roman heritage. Obviously, this doesnt have to be a contradiction, but I thought it should be said.


 No.350

>>347

The current flag is, like >>348 said, just the coat of arms on a flag.

The coat of arms is great, don't get me wrong, it is a great symbol of the roman heritage of the city, but this is more a flag by default than an actual flag.
